Silly Wizard)This song follows a rather straight forward fingerpicking convention. Andas it is a ballad, it tends to sound a little better off skin, than plasticAnyhow..real easy, good practice for budding pickers, bass note with thumb,followed by the next three notes on index, middle, and ring respectively.(Well, you may not play like that, but its how I learned, do whatever worksbest). The whole song follows through using very straight forward chords.This is a demo TAB of the first line or so,

Anyhow, here are the lyrics to this song.INTRO Enough Am pluckings to sound okay..song is in 4/4, so play three, andhave a little tacet to set things off.(tacet) Am C DmBy the storm torn shoreline, a woman is standing Am C AmThe spray strung like jewels in the air Am C DmAnd the sea near the rocks, near that desolate landing Am C Dm AmAs though it had known, she stood thereCHORUS (Exact progression as above)For she had come down, to condemn that wild oceanFor the murderous loss of her manHis boat sailed out, on Wednsday mornin'And its feared she's gone down, with all hands.More Verses:Oh, and white were the wavecaps, and wild was their partingSo fierce is(as) the warring of loveBut she prayed to the Gods, both of men and of sailorsNot to cast their cruel nets o'er her love

This is played up to four times, but usually only twice. There are someslight variations that can be played on this, but this is only important tonote on the four time solo. (This is sorta something I made up, and maynot be what is on the albulm, as there it is an accompniment of some flutes,etc. It does a good job of staying with the flow though) The exit to the solois as follows from the last Am Am

Something is lost in the timing here, and I don't know how to transpose itcorrectly, listen to the CD, it is fairly close.There's a school on the hill, where the son's of dead fathersAre led towards tempests and gailsWhere their God given wings, are clipped close to their bodiesAnd their eyes are bound round, with ship's sails.CHORUSWhat force leads a man, to a life filled with dangerAye, when seas are a mile, and are grand <>Its when need is his master, and poverty's no strangerAnd there's no other work to be found.CHORUS/------------------------+-------------------------------------------------\
